When chasing wisdom leads to illusion and immobility. When you've mastered teaching but not learning. Does blind faith lead to peace or is it a door to chaos? What went wrong over the years in Achlayatan? Was it the lack of a Guru?

On the other hand there are the working class Sonpangshus, drained in their work day in and day out and have no time for rites and rituals. Have they been able to achieve their inner peace?

Written by Tagore a century ago, with its dramatic take on social structure, education system and religious beliefs, Achalayatan still hits the bull's eye without even directly attacking them.
